Hinode Group

As the Compliance Executive at Hinode Group, I was responsible for leading the implementation of a comprehensive compliance program that ensured strict adherence to relevant laws and regulations such as the LGPD and GDPR. I also managed risk management and expertly executed policies related to anti-corruption, conflict of interest, donations, and gifts. My passion for compliance and ethics is unparalleled, and I am committed to developing and implementing programs that help organizations operate in a lawful and ethical manner.

One of my most significant accomplishments was leading a project to conduct an ESG risk assessment. The project involved assessing the environmental, social, and governance risks associated with Hinode Group's operations. I confidently mapped out the risks and developed a plan for implementing measures to mitigate those risks successfully. The project was a resounding success, and Hinode Group was better positioned to operate sustainably and responsibly.

I am particularly proud of my work on the LGPD project. It was a complex and challenging project that involved aligning Hinode Group's compliance program with Brazil's new data privacy law. I approached this project with unwavering confidence, and I am confident that we have developed a program that will adequately protect the privacy of Hinode Group's customers and employees.
